Sorry if the question is already answered, but I haven't found answer for my particular situation, that is a little different.

I'm installing all the tools necessary for android programming. I have created an android virtual device, but the problem come installing intel hardware acceleration (HAXM), the installer say to me I need activate VT-x and it seems that this tool only can be activated in BIOS, but my BIOS is InsydeH20 rev 3.5 and the option doesn't appear anywhere.

What can I do? How can I activate VT-x without BIOS?

My processor is intel i7 2630qm, I have check in the intel page if my processor is compatible with VT-x and yes it is.

Thank you very much!!

You can run some bcedit commands from the command line to set ND Bit and VT
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
bcdedit /set nx AlwaysOn
Also do the install from https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager
If you're using Avast, disable "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" under: Settings > Troubleshooting. Restart the PC and try to run the HAXM installation again

(instead of using the one downloaded through
